KING OF SCOTIA looked a certain future winner when runner-up at the Curragh and started favourite for a maiden over this track and trip but was caught close home. He couldn't handle soft ground and Grade 3 company at Leopardstown but this looks a good opportunity. Capital Guarantee had no answer to Catherine Of Siena here last month but had an odds-on chance in third and the winner has scored again. Sea Spray travelled smoothly for much of the way when tackling a mile here last month and only weakened in the closing stages while Tabuk got outpaced before staying on late over the trip a fortnight ago and looks the type to progress again. Eddie Lynam has been amongst the winners and the €100,000 filly Memorial Verse is one to keep an eye on.
